Science and technology are all around us each and every day. NEMO transports your pupils into a world of everyday objects which are nevertheless very remarkable. Pupils learn by getting involved, and learn a lot about the world around them while having fun. The inviting exhibitions appeal to pupils in both primary school and secondary school.

Groups must be adequately supervised (at least one supervisor for every ten pupils).

School visits should last 3 hours at most.

Accessibility

NEMO is recognizable from a distance as the large green building above Amsterdam’s IJ Tunnel. It is just 15 minutes on foot from Amsterdam Central Station. More information.

Supervisors

At NEMO, we believe that supervisors are important, so they are allowed in free of charge. Supervisors should stay with their group and are responsible for their pupils. We expect at least one supervisor for every ten pupils, however we recommend one supervisor for every six pupils.

Food and drink

You can eat and drink in the Foyer, on the second floor or at the ground floor. Would you prefer to bring your own lunch to NEMO? No problem. But please do not eat in the exhibitions. That’s why we have created a number of places in the museum where you can tuck into your packed lunch. You can eat in these rooms, or when the weather is nice, on our rooftop terrace. It is also possible to order packed lunches and other servicesin advance.

Bags and coats

Rucksacks, bags and coats are kept for you in the cloakroom. There are also lockers for your valuables. These are free: your coin will be returned when you open the locker. There are several large cloakroom lockers available for schools. These are suitable for 30 to 50 coats and bags. Use is free of charge. More information can be found at the ticket office
